Comparison DENVER airport delay sep 89 till May 1994 was one of the most recent example of delays with formal baggage system operational after 1996


But new Isb may be a record as its far smaller with two runways and 15-20 gates and one run can be used at a time

D never has 6 runways and 111 gates 58 million passengers per year

Some what excited now at the Prospect of what can be done at GWADAR International airport, while initial idea was to create a smaller size airport , however it really make sense to make a proper airport considering no point to spend money twice , design it correctly first time

ISLAMABAD:
“We are always committed to elevate the standards of aviation and it is our foremost priority to upgrade the human resource development, and to exalt all airports to ensure the safety measures of passengers,” Prime Minister’s Advisor on Aviation Mehtab Khan told journalists.

“NIIAP is scheduled to be inaugurated in first quarter of 2018, whereas construction of Gwadar Airport will be started in March 2018,” he said.

“The expansion of Allama Iqbal International Airport, and up gradation of Bacha khan Peshawar Airport, Faisalabad and Quetta International Airport, will also be made in 2018.”

The PM advisor said there has been complete revamping of the air navigation system, up-gradation and extension of civil airports and acquisition of state of the art security equipment.



“Radars with enhanced coverage have already been installed along with ADS-B (automatic dependent surveillance – broadcast) systems, which shall be completed by mid-2018,” he added.

Multan International Airport has been expanded and new boarding bridges have been installed at Jinnah International Airport Karachi.

Meanwhile, Khan, addressing the 11th meeting of directors general of civil aviation of the developing-8 (D-8) organisation, emphasised on fostering sustained, peaceful and unifying ties between the civil aviation authorities of D-8 member states to improve regional economy and people’s living standards.

Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) hosted the D-8 forum, representing Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey. An objective of D-8 forum is to create new opportunities in trade relationship between the member states.

Asim Suleiman, director general of CAA, called for cooperation through coordinated, integrated and allied collaboration amongst D-8 member states in all spheres of civil aviation.

“It is essential to progress and move forward globally from ‘developing’ to ‘developed’ civil aviation activities,” Suleiman said in a statement.
He said the forum must play its part in joint safety and security spheres.

Ali Mohammad Mousavi, secretary general of D-8 organisation highlighted the increased role of countries in improving the economic position of the member states.

The participants appreciated the bold initiatives taken by the present government to ensure safety of aircraft, facilitation to the travelling passengers and ensuring their safety and security.
